"[T]he appeal of Wonderful Tonight is as self-evident as the
seemingly simple but brash opening chord of 'A Hard Day’s Night'… a
charming, lively and seductive book, and like all good memoirs it
also works as a cultural history… The prose is clear and
unpretentious, and although she writes candidly about the pain her
husbands ’ infidelities caused her…this isn’t a bitter tell-all.
There’s an aura of sweetness around Boyd’s approach."
—New York Times Book Review
“A scrumptious memoir…There is exactly one big question for Ms.
Boyd to answer here: What made her leave Mr. Harrison for Mr.
Clapton, her husband’s close friend? To its credit the book answers
that question plausibly and fully.”
—The New York Times
"They say if you can remember the '60s, you weren't really there.
Well, Pattie Boyd was there, and she remembers it all." Wonderful
Tonight "is a unique gospel of a turbulent time by someone who was
in the very eye of the rock 'n' roll hurricane."
—Sydney Morning Herald
"Pattie Boyd married two Sixties legends and inspired three of the
era's greatest love songs, but life was far from glamorous. The
ex-wife of George Harrison and Eric Clapton speaks out in this
compelling autobiography."
—The London Sunday Times
"There are so many wonderful stories in Pattie Boyd's life: Falling
in love with a Beatle. Falling in love with another famous rock
star, Eric Clapton, and being serenaded with 'Wonderful Tonight' .
. . "But there is much that is excruciating in her life story."
Boyd "was taught by her parents that she didn't deserve to be
loved; she was told by her husbands that she wasn't worth very
much, but here she is: not dead, not on drugs, not an alcoholic,
but a survivor."
—London Daily Mail
“Will thrill classic-rock buffs with a taste for scandal.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Boyd finally answers some of those questions [about George
Harrison and Eric Clapton]–but on her own terms.”
—USA Today
“Sixties model Pattie Boyd opens up about her rocky relationships
with two of music’s most famed performers.”
—Harper’s Bazaar
